• Re: Cannot install Win7 driver display for Satellite A100-159

  Hello world

  I have a problem with my old laptop satellite a100-159. I still use it as a second computer. Given that the display drivers for windows 7 are available at toshiba, I decided to update the laptop from XP to 7. After the update, I downloaded the display driver for win 7 (http://support1.toshiba-tro.de/tedd-files2/0/display-20091109135931.zip)

  But here's the problem: when I unzip the file, the file "tinstall.exe" does not work. It comes to the .exe file that needs to install the driver. I also had the message "this program could not have installed correctly". As of the present results, I'm looking to 1024 x 768 while the resolution is 1280 x 800.

  Any suggestions for me? I know that the laptop is old, but that the correct display driver, it is rather useless.

  Jeroen

  Please try to run the install using setup.exe.

• Satellite A100-159 - FAN is always on

  Hello
  I bought Satellite A100 159 with T2500 and Radeon x 1600.
  Fan is always on. I've updated the bios and it did not help. What is more, when I put the driver ATI PowerPlay to use and when the battery is low, I get only a few scratches on the desk and the computer restarts. Windows indicates that there is problem with unknown driver.
  What can I do to stop the FAN - my CPU temperature is 28-31 cellsius and the frequency is always set to 2000 MHz (everest watch 1995 MHz).
  I think that, this fan should not run while the temperature is so low. My old centrino almost always has 40 to 50 degrees and the fan is always disabled.
  What can I do more to make the fan only works when the temperature is above 40 degrees?

  Kind regards

  I should add that my old Acer TM 4502 with Centrino has SpeedStep that makes of changing speed from 500 MHz to 1600 MHz CPU. I would like to do with my new Satellite - it might help with the problem of fan. If I change the speed of the CPU that the temperature will be lower and the fan does not spin all the time.
  I noticed that the fan is stopped when I start the computer in the morning when it is cool. After windows starts when rizes temp fan starts and doesn't stop.

  Kind regards

  Hello

  The Toshiba power saver is responsible for the processor and the fan controlling.
  Please open the energy saving mode you are using, choose the menu Basic tab and change the option method of cooling to a lower level. In addition, you can change the method of control of the CPU to auto.
  This procedure should allow to change the use of the fan.

• For Portege 3490 AC adapter does not work with the Satellite A100-159

  I have a supply of 15V 120W car (or plane Kensington). It works very well with a Portege 3490CT. It doesn't do a thing with my Satellite A100-159 new. The power supply provides also 15 V 6 a. Can someone tell me why the Kensington work?

  Or does anyone have a diagram to a power supply adapted myself, preference of 11, 5-14, 12(4) and 24 VDC (23-28: 8)?

  Thanks in advance!

  Hello

  I can give t you an answer why it does not work but usually you need to use the adapter for vehicle recommended by Toshiba. Incorrect adapter may damage the laptop!
  I think that the card for Portege 3490 adapter is not compatible with Satellite A100

  That the two car/truck/Air 120W laptop charger must be compatible:
  PX1237E-1NPO
  PX1235E-1NPO

• Satellite A100-159: expansion of memory RAM problem

  Hello

  I have a satellite A100-159. I want to increase the RAM to 2 GB. I checked the type of memory that is supported by the laptop and ordered two modules PC4200 DDR2 SO-DIMM 1 GB of the brand 'Buffalo '. I have after installing the memory and the laptop starts fine (and detects the 2 GB of RAM). However, Windows XP always freezes after login. I reinstalled the original modules and everything works well again.

  After that, I installed both modules in other non-Toshiba laptop and here they work perfectly. I know that Toshiba recommends using some partnumbers, but if the modules work fine in another laptop computer why it does not work in the A100?

  Recommended modules are almost two times more expensive. If Toshiba wants to make money by forcing people to buy expensive pieces, I will never buy a Toshiba again...

  Secondly, is it possible to use DDR2 SO - DIMM 667 modules (these are less expensive than 533 modules)?

  Kind regards
  Martijn

  Hello

  > is it possible to use DDR2 SO - DIMM 667 modules (these are less expensive than 533 modules)

  Yes, it should be possible to use the modules of 667 MHz, but generally, they should be more expensive than 533 MHz modules. Of course, modules WITHOUT name are always less expensive than brand Kingston or Toshiba memory modules.

  > Recommended modules are almost two times more expensive. If Toshiba wants to make money by forcing
  > people to buy expensive pieces I will never buy a Toshiba again.

  Don t think that they will be forcing anyone to buy expensive parts. but as already said, the brand modules cost more expensive form of low quality modules. The performance of these modules is poor. If you want you can read some computer magazines and find the tests.
  They compare the performance of simple modules. So for me it makes no sense to buy a module without name of 667 MHz because for most a brand module 533 MHz is faster and better as module 667 MHz without a name.

  I use Kingston modules in my laptop satellite and I'm happy.

• Satellite A100-159: firewire with shared IRQ controller no?

  Hello
  I work with audio production. I have to buy a laptop with a TEXAS INSTRUMENTS
  fire - wire with no shared IRQ controller. Do you know if the Toshiba Satellite A100-159 has this feature?
  If not, what else can I take?
  Is there a technical consultant on this subject?

  Thank you for your time and courtesy

  Good bye

  Hello

  I found information that the Satellite A100-159 uses a Texas Instruments firewire.
  In Device Manager, you should find this entry:

• Satellite A100-159 and Motorola Bluetooth Headset HS815

  Hello
  I can not connect the headset bluetooth Motorola HS815 portable satellite A100-159.
  I disable MS bluetooth and installed the latest Toshiba Bluetooth Stack V4.00.36.
  It's my internal bluetooth device from toshiba:
  077B = "internal Bluetooth CSR (19.2) v2.0 EDR.

  (1) I turn on the headset HS815
  (2) the Bluetooth manager sees a device, opening a pop-up windows where says "authentication failed", indicates the MAC ADDRESS of the helmet and ask me for the PIN.
  (3) I type in the PIN code "0000" default, but nothing happens!
  the HS815 is not connected,
  the Bluetooth Manager doesn't list any any device.

  It is:
  This Motorola HS815 headset is compatible with the bluetooth Satellite A100-159 card?

  Thanks a million in advance
  Filippo

  The error message indicates that something was wrong during the pairing process.
  This is silly, but important questions.
  Are you sure you have connected your headset and no other in the range? Really, the PIN is "0000" and you tyed in properly (maybe caps lock was on to your keyboard and something else has in fact been registered)?
  Delete all pairing if it exists, and then try again.

• Memory problem while improving my Satellite A100-181

  Hi all

  I want to upgrade RAM on my Satellite A100-181, 512 MB is a bit limited...
  I ordered a 1 GB dimm noname a month before, put in it, with the 512dimm. As a result, we have only 1 GB recognized, and the laptop does not start if the 512 module is not mounted.

  I thought it was a bad memory module and ordered a kit 2 GB of crucial memory modules, which come paired and guaranteed by Crucial to be compatible with the toshiba A100-181.
  Result is the same: with 2 DIMMS inserted, the PC does not start: just turn on and off and still... With only 1 dimm, it does not start unless the 512 original module is attached to it... And once again, only 1 GB is recognized (915456Ko in the bios, but I guess that video reserved memory is not counted here)

  Is that what anyone has ever heard a problem / solution to this issue?

  Thank you very much.

  It is typical behavior when you use incompatible modules.
  Your laptop can handle with 2 GB max and compatible with 1 GB of Ram is DDR2 400/533 1 GB (PA3411U-1M1G). Use this part number to order compatible module.

  You can also buy the Kingston/Order module. Kingston offers high quality products and using them you won't have these problems.

  The Modules of RAM 'Value' use many chips cheap using several banks/channels, which can cause problems of compatibility with some Chipsets/CPUS.

• BUG: Cursor JTextArea leaves trails while scrolling

  Editing of large text files (1000 + lines) in a JTextArea when you scroll up/down with the keyboard sometimes the cursor leaves a trail (intermittently).
  
  I've attached an example of screen shot to show the problem. It only seems to happen in Windows. In the picture, I hold in the arrow key down.
  
  [Screenshot | https://6cc0e26a-a-62cb3a1a-s-sites.googlegroups.com/site/pquiring/images/bug.png]
  
  This bug seems to begin around Java 6 Update 14. I posted a prior bug report but never got any attention.
  
  Any ideas?
  
  Thank you.

  Works fine on my machines (recompiled for java 6u32 Windows 7 laptop and presented as-is on the windows desktop 7u17 Java 7). I have blocked a lot of lines in there and I scrolled aimlessly with mouse and keyboard, no problems.

  So yes... it shows the bug on your computer. Have you tried on others? He finds that since Java 6 update 10, Swing has a way of drawing accelerated by Direct3D which is enabled by default. If you run the application with - Dsun.java2d.d3d = false, the problem then disappears? If so your video drivers must suck - really.

• Issue of Satellite A100 - 159 LCD - Photo cut into horizontal pieces

  Hello

  For three days I have very strange problems with the LCD screen on my laptop. Imagine the normal image, cut it into horizontal pieces and place pieces randomly above the other.
  This 'strange' combination vertical rolls on the screen. A few minutes later, he stops and the screen shows me a gradient of one color.

  With a keyboard shortcut, the laptop is on stand-by. With the power on button, the laptop leaves Eve and the screen working again normally.

  It happens once or twice a day...

  An external screen works normal, while the LCD is weird, so I guess there is no problem with the graphics card. Can someone explain this strange behavior?

  One last thing, this laptop 13 months now, so I guarantee expired :-(.

  Thanks in advance,
  Jochen

  (PS English is not my native language, I apologize for the errors and I still think that Toshiba is the best :-)

  Hello Jochen

  According to your explanation of the problem it is probably problem with graphics card. Please understand that simply test with special tools can give you a definitive answer. I don't really know what is the best solution.

  Try to speak with service and ask how much laptop repair cost.

• High temperature on my Satellite A100-159

  Hello

  I have my laptop almost 5 months now and this week it crashed during a game, and I had to wait until it has been cooled before that I could start him again. Since then, I have installed speedfan to check the temperature when I'm just on the net and using msn the CPU is about 58 degrees, although I heard that is normal I think it is too high.

  Also when I play a game or use a lot the power of my CPU temperature going up to 88 degrees, is this normal or is there something wrong with my cooler? Since today he has also made more noise then before I think. Is there a program where I can check my fan speed with also tried to check for laptop, but it gave the same temperatures and says nothing about my speed of ventilation or stuff like that. So, what should I do?

  There is no plant more but I stopped playing the game because I have to study too much :)

  No, 58 is certainly not too high
  It of also not uncommon that the temperature rises to a higher level during the game or run other applications of strong performance.
  In this case different devices such as CPU, GPU, running with a maximum yield and produce a lot of heat.
  I can t give you a tip about the fan speed and noise coming from the cooling module, but of course, it is possible to s that the fan is malfunctioning.

  Eager for overheating the laptop to be used on the table and not on the knees. (some people use in the bed or knees).
  Also, make sure that there is enough free space around the laptop for the circulation of air correctly.

  But if you think there could be something wrong with the fan then you could ask a technician for a control. I think that the guarantee is valid. Am I wrong?

• Blocked region Player DVD Satellite A100-159

  Hello

  As in a formal way, I can tell just service partner, maybe. On the net you can find some region free applications, but this way is certainly illegal.

• Satellite A100-159: battery not

  I have a problem with my battery.

  Battery will not charge. I tried to change the battery with my father and it does not work either. I change my battery for laptop computer to my father and now it works. even I flashed my bios to version 5.20

  One of the store to say that I have to reset my motherboard because it's one of the problems.

  Anyone know how I can fix it.

  Post edited by: anne_kleyheeg

  Hello

  Please don t use batteries that are not 100% compatible with your laptop!
  This can damage the motherboard and other parts of 3rd notebook.

  AFAIK the A100 is one of the new series of Toshiba and the guarantee to be valid.

  For me looks a little electronic power outage motherboards.
  Who knows?  :| Control of the laptop is necessary to locate the fault.

  So, don t waste time and immediately contact the Toshiba authorized service provider in your country.
  They technicians should check the laptop and provide assistance.

  Good luck
